The acid reflux she is experiencing from FOX and people who are ignorantly attacking her very appropriate correction of the BG.



She (her office or her email robot) sent me a response. But it was quite generic.

I am defending her because she was right in her correction of the BG.

I am telling you, that the only proper way for him to have addressed her was by the greeting, "Senator."


Trust me on this, Prax.

I am correct.

I don't like the tone of my responses to you.


In a way, I thought I'd try to be abrasive just for the sake of being abrasive-- but it never bodes well with me to do so.


I apologize for my tone towards you.



However, for the record, Senator Boxer was right for correcting Brigadier General Walsh.

Brigadier General Walsh's mistake was a simple mistake, but his rank and his salary is too high for such mistakes as this.

I am sure he is professionally embarassed-- and he should be.

Jermyn,

No problem. We are both very opinoinated and strong willed individuals with VERY different views.

I do have a question. Nothing you have ever posted even halfway resembles Republican positions yet you identfied yourself to Ms. Boxer as such. Do you really consider yourself a Republican and if so why when you appear to agree with liberal Democrats in every topic of discussion I can think of?

God Bless

I am a Registered Republican and will remain so.

I am for abortion only to save the life of the mother.

I am for the death penalty, but only when the DNA evidence present convicts the person being put to death.

I am pro-business and believe that if state and local governments were more pro-business in their policies, the "problem cities" of the north wouldn't be so problematic as there would more jobs and more opportunities for people to make a decent living legally.

I firmly believe that illegal immigrants should be summarilly deported- not to their homelands, but to mexico since it has been the role of the Mexican government to help these folks for so many years.

I think public-charter schools are a great concept-- the perfect blend of government cooperating with private citizens in a venture that everyone has a stake in.

I am for higher taxes on the wealthier, with giving them meaningful incentives that affect their tax rate when they make business decisions that benefit Americans, specifically at the local levels-- the more local and positive the immediate impact of their business decisions, the greater the tax "incentive" should be.

I see many gun control measures as anti- Constitutional, but there are modern issues that must be addressed. Just how, I am not completely sure. It may be best to simply leave this issue in the hands of the local governments (city and county) as the issues of Milwaukee are not the same as Kenosha-- but they are within the same state.

Homosexuality should not be codified by our government, but there are alot of sins our government codifies that are not hot-button issues for us. Why? Simply because we are repulsed by homosexuality-- but our repulsion should not be the basis for public policy if we are not going to be morally correct across the board.

I rejoiced when the Supreme Court refused to hear the most recent case to challenge the military's, "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy.



Outside of my views on taxes, which aren't too far left of center, I consider myself to be to the right of center.

So have I passed your litmus test?

[MissBrattified]

Hmmmm. Well, I think Jermyn is right about the correct form of address.

I don't know that Senator Boxer needed to reprimand him--it did seem petty--but she was within her rights to do so. No different than a judge reminding someone in his/her court to use the term "Your Honor."

If that had been Anne Coulter correcting the BG, we'd all be applauding her pluck and sharp tongue.

Basic etiquette requires that we address others as THEY wish to be addressed. You don't use first names unless given permission to do so, and you always use the most formal title known, unless given permission to address them otherwise. (Such as calling a doctor "Dr. Smith" rather than "MR. Smith.")

The BG very quickly and respectfully corrected his course, and for that I give him high marks.

Oh right....cry her a river why don't you? She is a politician and a very shrewd one. She has been around.

Even if she was right to correct the guy, how she did is not necessarily appropriate.

We all know that is what you are telling us. Why should I trust you? Are you a general in the army?
